Interesting, i would have expected to see crackle_pattern() occur
somewhere, after all it is used for the textures of a lot of objects.

I suppose most of the time shooting photons is not spent in photon
specific code but in the general tracing routines.  The scene is much less
photons intensive than 'optics.pov' during rendering, try activating
photons on the water and this will probably change...
